Dear Mrs,
Among medications your husband takes there are such medication which decrease heart rate and blood pressure, which is desired after heart attack, but if blood pressure and heart rate decrease too much which is in your husband's case it is indicated to change the dose or medication. So I would advise you to see your doctor to reevaluate his treatment.
Hope I could help you
Wishing good health to your husband
